tools/power turbostat: Fix and document --header_iterations
The "header_iterations" option is commonly used to de-clutter the screen of redundant header label rows in an interactive session: Eg. every 10 rows: $ sudo turbostat --header_iterations 10 -S -q -i 1 But --header_iterations was missing from turbostat.8 Also turbostat help advertised the "-N" short option that did not actually work: $ turbostat --help -N, --header_iterations num print header every num iterations Repair "-N" Document "--header_iterations" on turbostat.8 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
